About

The Student Emergency Fund, which also includes Grizzlies Helping Grizzlies, is a unique program that provides assistance to students in times of emergency and great need. Often, these situations can threaten to derail a student's education. But with your generosity, we can help these students persevere through difficult times. 

Gifts provide basic necessities and address sudden emergencies that keep our students moving forward. By donating, you help Grizzlies who need it most. 

Grizzlies create caring and supportive relationships that are essential to success, learning, persistence and graduation, and support institutional health and community growth. We can strive to attain all of these goals by helping our students.

Please help students in need by giving to the Student Emergency Fund today! A gift of any size truly makes an impact on students' lives.
